A sport which bears respect in the heart of every Indian. A sport with so many fan-followings in India, that no other sport has any chance to compete with it. Cricket is so popular in Asian countries that kids used to draw bat ball drawing before writing alphabets. You might find it ironic – that the national sport of India is hockey but the most beloved sport is cricket. Cricket is the most beloved sport in India and hockey is the most successful sport of India, as India has won 8 Olympic Gold Medals in Hockey.
But cricket was not first invented or played in India. It was made by the United Kingdom or England. They became the first and foremost introducers to this sport. As many of you may know about the Britishers taking control over India for almost 200 years, ruining the entire economy of India, and giving it a setback for the future. Though I do accept that there were many negativities in the British, which the innocent Indians needed to face. But there were some good things which the Britishers introduced in India too. The Britishers introduced the system of Railways in India, as well as the method of Telegram, though it is not used now as the system is quite obsolete. And one of the most main and important things for Indians which the British introduced was “Cricket.” Beginning from small matches to participation in World Cups, India has shown that they don’t lack in any field. Cricket only had some varieties of tournaments in the beginnings. Then it spread to various varieties like – ODIs, Test matches, World Cups, T20s and other innovative methods which prevail in the streets of India.
